This is not an update; this is a response to the owner's comment on my original review. The claims made in the owner's comment are false and misleading. I have never been associated with any of Orchid Thai's competitors at any point in time (except perhaps as a customer) and have never emailed the business.
In fact, I received a message via Yelp from the owner on July 3rd, 2017, offering me a free dinner of my choice to potentially change my mind. He also requested my address to send me a gift card. I would never release my address to anyone online; and most importantly, I refuse to accept a free meal/bribe in exchange for a good review. I did not respond to that message.
I intend to protect my rights to post truthful and valid reviews of my particular experience with this and other businesses on Yelp, and I will not be removing my review. I hope in the future the owner can take the constructive criticism from guests without resorting to any further lies and attempts at defamation.
